Shopping

[baza]

Around lunch time on a Friday I drive into town to attend to my duties at an older peoples club, I can normally park close to the venue either in a car park or street parking ( a bit dearer). Today all the bays were full and the high street was heaving, now the question is ,where did all these people come from, mothers with kids that should have been in school, so many adults, they cannot all have been unemployed. I had to park half a mile away and walk, might just as well caught the bus with the great unwashed.
Gripe over.

Oh dear, a collapsing thread in front of us, akin to a Black Hole imploding, or is that deemed racist here.

[Mamyalynne]

The only fate some threads deserve is implosion.

nice to see a good wind up reach 22 posts, off now to walk the pitbull round to the tattoo artists, then catch the bus into town, Witherspoon's next to the bus station.

I don't think anyone with a tattoo should be allowed to post on AB.

[Mamyalynne]

Lord knows why you mix with us plebs Anne.

[anneasquith]

I know tis a mystery .

For some reason, DTCwordfan's comment about a collapsing thread reminds me of a joke which ends in: "I'm a frayed knot.":)

//Don't know about 'Black Friday' it's the usual 'Judgemental Day' on here.//
One of the best comments I've ever read on here. Concise and to the point ;-)

Well sometimes there's just an overload of guff,never mind - whatever pleases some eh?

I went shopping today, to sainsburys.
The car park was full but they had all the tills open...hoorah!
I bought ten items, none of which were electrical. There were no riots, it was all very calm and just like a normal day.
Black Friday? Passed me by.

[ethandron]

I didn't buy any guff either.

It's 3pm here, and Mrs stuey is just on her way out and asked if I'd like to go to the shopping centre with her. I replied that I'll wait for another hour and see if there are any bargains at the bar...Wouldn't that be great: bar bargains:)

very apropos is 'the frayed knot,' stuey.....

Two pieces of string walk into a Toronto bar, hearing that there are bar bargains on the go, being Black Friday.

The bartender looks at them suspiciously. He says "Sorry, boys, we don't serve your kind here." So the pieces of string walk out again.

They're sitting in the gutter outside and feeling really thirsty when one piece of string, one stuey, says "Hey! I've got an idea to get me into the bar."

So stuey starts twisting and turning, wriggling this way and that, pulling out a few threads here and there. His mate's looking at him and thinks he's gone completely nuts.

Then the piece of string, stuey, walks back into the bar. The bartender looks at him a little suspiciously again and says "Here, you're not a bit of string, are you?"

The piece of string replies "No, I'm a frayed knot."

That's the one! Nicely personalized, DTC... In fact, neatly wrapped up:)
